Online alarm clock for 6:49 pm
As you hand the last ferry run across the bay to the next crew member, set the alarm for 6:49 pm so the changeover does not swallow the departure check. That leaves a clear marker before 7:00 pm, when the late-afternoon timetable may shift and everyone needs to know who is responsible for the sailing.
During the ferry handover, this alarm page may sit behind the roster, weather report or passenger count you are checking. A background browser page can have its timing or sound delayed by the phone’s power-saving rules, so leave audio enabled and bring the alarm page forward before the nominated time. The ferry handover needs the browser running and the phone awake; if either stops, there may be no audible alert for the departure.
Once the incoming crew has the keys and passenger details, allow a moment outside before the final walk-around. At 6:49 pm, humid air around an Australian bay can make the deck and handrails feel damp even after a dry afternoon. Keep the checklist sheltered, wipe any mist from your glasses or torch lens, and confirm that loose paperwork will not lift in the breeze before the ferry moves off.
Common questions
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
